How is BlueSky any different from other major social media platforms? (lemm.ee)

So I thought that BlueSky was set up just like Lemmy in that it was fully decentralized into a sort of "terrorist cell" structure that wasn't focused on profits, but then found out that BlueSky has a CEO. Since this is a business, what makes BlueSky fundamentally different from Twitter or Instagram?

I feel like so long as a social media platform exists through monetization (in some form or another private companies need to make money), we are ultimately replacing one dictator with another.

It's not. I've seen its ads on billboards along the highway. They call themselves "Truth social for liberals" or some shit like that. I won't touch it with a ten-foot pole—regardless of my political leanings.
